• W348410676 abstract "Abstract This paper examines the changes that have taken place in the past decades of the role of the FL (Foreign Language) teacher in view of the developments in language technologies. There has been much time and space devoted to the role of the student with regards to new technologies in a language learning environment, however, comparatively little has been written about the role of the teacher in such models. Professional development in the form of technology training courses need to be offered to the FL teacher in order to facilitate their changing role in view of new language technologies. We must first look at the role of the teacher in the language classroom where such technologies are to be employed as an integral pedagogic tool. This paper is the first in a series of an ongoing study of teacher/learner attitudes to and perceptions of language technologies at Da Yeh University, Taiwan. Introductions: The Benefits and Challenges of Language Technologies Language technologies (e.g. CALL--Computer Assisted Language Learning) have been utilized as a pedagogical tool for language teachers since the 1980's. However, since the 1990's the nature of such technologies has changed dramatically, especially with the integration of the World Wide Web and the Internet into the language classroom. Since that time, language teachers have been placed in a new position in relation to teaching methodologies and technologies. As Laurent Gousie writes, 'No longer were we swept by a wave of methodology; we were swamped by a tidal wave of computer assisted technologies' (1998, p. 2). Suddenly, we had access to a literal world of ideas, but we had no real idea what to do with them or how to employ them effectively into our lessons. The problem was not the arrival of this new 'wave' of technology, but rather, how do we as teachers process and evaluate its effective use for the FL (Foreign Language) classroom. As Langan writes, 'The good news is that we have more information at our fingertips than ever before. The bad news is that we have to figure out what to do with it all' (1995, p. 5). The Changing Role of the FL Teacher The role of the language teacher has changed and will undoubtedly experience further development as technology becomes a more integral and permanent feature in the FL classroom. As Meena Singhal writes, citing Jensen, 'without a doubt we are in the center of a monumental paradigm shift, one which will change the way that all instructors teach and the way that students learn' (1997, p. 6). In a teaching environment that utilizes computers and the Internet as an integral part of language learning the role of the teacher undergoes a dramatic shift from the bearer of a knowledge that is to be disseminated to the learners, to a position where the teacher is regarded as a guide and where the learner has more control over what she learns. This is a shift in the teacher's role from the instructional, 'sage on the stage', to the more facilitative, 'guide on the side' (McKenzie, 1998). As Peiya Gu writes with regards to a Chinese experience of web-based learning in a language classroom: It was observed that in this networked learning environment where students were busy working on their own project, the teacher's role underwent a significant shift from a knowledge giver to a facilitator. The students took over the responsibility for their own language learning and for producing finished products that meet high standards. Thus, they became more active and more autonomous learners. (Gu, 2002, p. 15) In the example cited above, the teacher as facilitator has become the 'guide on the side', a different role to fit a different pedagogical model. What has to be noted here is that now the teacher has the opportunity to teach other additional skills not usually associated as part of the language curriculum, e.g. critical thinking and problem solving. These new skills are, I would argue, necessary skills in the FL classroom that uses language technologies. …" @default.
